some loose rock in the crack, i wouldn't do it again unless it was a weekday. it's directly over a hiking trail, and it seems like poor form to climb over hikers. otherwise, it's a great climb!

Good variety of moves
Fun climbing that gets lots of shade and plenty of tourist traffic. Can be top roped, but make sure to redirect if you don't want to take a swing.
